Little Hullabaloo 23 June 2009 Poem by Margaret Alice

Is there a way
to deal with this better,
or is it a case of getting over
and done with it to get
to life after death – or plain
death, if you prefer –
as soon as possible with
as little hullabaloo as possible.

Shouldn’t I try life-threatening
sports like parachuting or bungee
jumping to hasten the end
given that this interlude of
earthly life is rather a waste –
or what do you suggest?
Salmonella?
